Leeds United and Celtic are reportedly keen on the Motherwell winger Jake Hastie.
The rapid rise of Jake Hastie is showing no signs of slowing.
Few outside of Motherwell had heard of the 19-year-old winger before the turn of the year but now he is arguably Scotland’s most exciting youngster and a gossip column regular.
Hastie only returned to Fir Park from a loan spell at Alloa Athletic in January and has scored five goals in eight Scottish Premiership games already for Stephen Robinson’s side. Some of those have been truly spectacular, thumped home with his trusty left foot in a manner befitting of his idol, the Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale.
With his contract expiring in the summer, no wonder there is plenty of interest. The Daily Record reports that Leeds United are interested, potentially seeing Hastie as an alternative to the ‘one that got away’ Daniel James.
Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers are also understood to be circling, as reported by the Scottish Sun.
And Hastie has now been rewarded for his fine form with a first ever call up for the Scotland U21 squad.
The Lanarkshire-born forward has never represented his country at any level but could pull on the famous blue shirt for the friendly fixtures against Mexico and Sweden later this month.
In truth, his call-up was a no-brainer. Motherwell will just be praying his spell in the first-team is not coming to an end already with the summer window just weeks away.
